What I Want: The April DC Solicitations

COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS #4-1
The Great Disaster has occurred, and all hell breaks loose as all the storylines in COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS come to a climax, threatening Darkseid and Jimmy Olsen and Mary Marvel and the future of their Earth!


Oh yeah, like I'm going to drop this now! Unlike a lot of folks, I've been enjoying this series as a whole.


TITANS #1
A new team of Titans is born...Someone or something is continuing its attack on anyone who's ever been a Titan, including Nightwing, Starfire, Donna Troy, Beast Boy and Raven. You won't want to miss this new startling chapter in Titans history that may forge a new team from the ashes of old, dead friends.


I did enjoy the old New Teen Titans book, years and years ago, so I am going to start getting this one. Whether I keep on getting it, I don't know; I'm picking it up for reasons of nostalgia but that wouldn't be enough to keep me.


BIRDS OF PREY #117
Misfit and Manhunter are captured by the man responsible for the bizarre magical technology that has been threatening the Birds and all of Metropolis...leading Oracle to decide to relocate the team to try to take this new nemesis down for good.


No particular comment here, but I've seen no reason to drop this title yet.


GREEN LANTERN CORPS #23
Some of the best and brightest of the Corps — including Kyle Rayner, Soranik Natu, Ion and Guy Gardner — are sent on an urgent mission to locate and destroy missing Sinestro Corps Rings that remain from the Sinestro Corps War. But Mongul has a different idea on what to do with the Rings…


Apparently featuring Soranic Natu, and therefore probably good. :)


SUPER FRIENDS #2
It’s big trouble in Metropolis when DINOSAURS go on a rampage! Will the Super Friends round up the mighty lizards before they make too much of a mess? Plus, activities, fact files and the next part of your Super Friends membership kit!


It looks cute, but of course I won't know whether we'll be keeping it until the eight-year-old sees it. She might enjoy the whole Super Friend angle, she might not, we'll see.

Well, they ALL look like great choices. And dinosaurs are never a bad thing.
